Kim Nam-ik: Health and Exercise Prescription

The modern-day human disease pattern is called a complex disorder, in the technical term. In the past, unlike bacterial or infectious diseases, there are many causes of disease development that are not a single factor but are caused by their complex interaction. Formerly called ‘ adult ’ or ‘ chronic femoral disease, ’ it is now used in the terms ‘ modern ’ and ‘ lifestyle disease. ’. The problem is not that the disease comes back in old age, but because it cannot manage living habits and environment, it can easily be exposed to chronic illness in youth. Cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic liver disease and other cancers that are currently responsible for most of the diseases in our country, is not easily treated once they occur, and almost always dies. There is no denying that these diseases should be more effective in prevention than treatment. Nevertheless, the public, and even the nation and the medical community, are all subject to treatment rather than trying to prevent these diseases, while medical demand and the cost of medical care are rising in the sky. So what this article suggests is that we should be more committed to preventing disease and improving health, reducing medical demand. This requires that each of us, most of all, train ourselves to change bad living habits, such as smoking and excessive drinking, and poor eating habits and lack of exercise, which are responsible for more than half of the causes of chronic illness.
